Seeing the face-changing actor trembling with fear in front of him, Li Huowang wanted to reveal his face and see how many faces he had.
Seeing that something was wrong, the innkeeper who was planning his life at the counter quickly came over to smooth things over. "This guest! This guest! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. One of my men bumped into you, so be it. Guest
My meal is free, how about I give you some soup?"
After Li Huowang stopped where he was for a few seconds, he slowly restrained himself and sat down again.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous?" Seeing the other party's abnormal behavior, Bai Lingmiao was a little confused
Li Huowang sighed lightly. The actor's face-changing just now reminded him that the way they changed their faces in Zuowangdao was inevitably a bit overreacted.
Li Huowang held the bowl and continued eating while explaining to her: "It's okay. This place is Shangjing, which is the boundary of Jiantiansi. Zuowangdao should not be able to penetrate."
After a hurried meal, Li Huowang moved to an inn without a theater troupe to stay again, and then walked alone to the address left in the letter.
He was not familiar with Beijing, so it was not until late at night after the curfew was enforced that Li Huowang found a place.
With a creaking sound, the wooden door opened. Ji Xiang, who was holding a lantern, poked his head out. He looked around and found no one else, so he quickly pulled Li Huowang in.
Li Huowang looked up at the yard and found that it was a small yard. Apart from a well, a large jujube tree occupied most of the yard. Li Huowang was really surprised that such a big official lived in such a small yard.
It’s a small place, and it looks like there are no servants.
But although it is small, it looks extremely delicate. It is just enough for a family of three.
"Erjiu, our family has been looking forward to it day and night, and finally we have you here." The smiling white-faced old eunuch grabbed Li Huowang's hand and refused to let go.
Li Huowang withdrew with all his strength, and cupped his hands towards the Prime Minister, "Thank you very much for your help, I will never forget it!"
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, what are you talking about." The reporter looked at Li Huowang with a smile, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind at the moment.
After meeting the real person, Li Huowang was not polite. After all, the other party owed him a favor. "Master Ji, you said in your letter that you can contact the military strategists and there is a way to get rid of the evil spirit. Is it true?"
Things may be minor or serious, but Li Huowang still feels that Bai Lingmiao's matters are more urgent than his.
"Yes! Yes, yes! Our family knew you were going to ask this, so we prepared it specially. Are we leaving now?"
Although he didn't know why the other party seemed to be more anxious than him, Li Huowang just felt that this kind of thing was too slow rather than too fast, so he immediately followed the reporter through the corridor and came to the back door, where two sedan chairs were already parked. p>
"I respectfully invite you to get on the sedan chair~" The four bearers knelt on the ground, extremely skilled.
This is Li Huowang's first time riding in a sedan. To be honest, it's very uncomfortable. It's so swaying that I feel like I'm motion sick.
Ji Xiang opened the sedan curtain and shouted eagerly to Li Huowang's sedan side by side: "Brother Erjiu, I just came to Beijing, where can I stay? Do you like the courtyard just now? If you like it, why don't we stay with our family?
I’ll give you a stay.”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ji Xiang, for your kindness, but I won't receive any reward for nothing. Erjiu can't bear this great gift."
For some reason, Li Huowang felt that since his bad heart, this eunuch had been too enthusiastic. How could he just give away a house after just chatting for a few words?
Hearing Li Huowang's words, Ji Xiang pretended to be unhappy. "Hey, Brother Erjiu, what you said is so obvious. Why don't you get no reward? You helped me so much before.
A dilapidated house is nothing, it was originally reserved for us to provide for our retirement. Just don’t dislike it if the land boundary is not good."
"Then it's settled. I'll put the keys and the title deed under your sedan chair. It's all over. We still have some worthless things in the house."
Li Huowang reached under his butt and touched three brass keys and several pieces of paper.
Sitting in this rickety sedan, Li Huowang held these things and thought about the other party's purpose.
After pondering for a long time, Li Huowang finally realized that the other party wanted to return the favor directly to the house. I'm afraid the small things left in the house were not ordinary.
"What does he mean by giving me his retirement home? He doesn't plan to work in the Tiantian Division in the future?"
Just when Li Huowang was thinking about this problem, the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and the humble voice of the bearer rang out, "I respectfully ask you to get off the sedan chair~"
Li Huowang stuffed the keys and land deed into his arms, bent down and got off the sedan, and as soon as he raised his head, a huge grinning lion's head jumped in front of Li Huowang.
Taking a few steps back, Li Huo saw clearly the Yamen in front of him and the prison. He seemed to be completely tied to the prison.
With a creaking sound, the prison door opened a crack, and Ji Xiang led Li Huowang in.
The entire prison has double doors and double walls, making it look extremely solid. Entering the main door, a second door appears, which is smaller. Not only do you have to bend down, but you also have to bend your legs and squat down.
Going further in is the third door. There is a tiger carved on the door frame of the third door. However, after the reporter explained in a low voice, Li Huowang realized that it was not a tiger, but the legendary beast-biuan.
When the third door opened, a series of real eyes stared at him. He gradually adapted to the dim prison environment, and Li Huowang also saw clearly who was watching him.
How should I put it? If I had to say it, what appeared in front of him was a room full of Peng Longteng.
These jailers with carved faces were standing or lying down, drinking or punching. These people were all military strategists. Their presence made the evil spirit in the air condense and not disperse, making it difficult to take a few breaths.
It is hard for Li Huowang to imagine what kind of existence in this prison needs to be suppressed by such a group of people.
"Oh, isn't this Eunuch Chen? What brought you here?" An elderly jailer who was drinking looked at the photo in surprise. His thick white beard stretched from his left earlobe to his right earlobe. p>
"Hahaha~ Cao Baihu, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time. How is our family?" The reporter leaned over with a smile.
"It's okay, just like that. My daughter-in-law and her son fought for three days and two days. Wait for me and I'll burn incense to the God of Prison first."
Following Cao Baihu's movements, Li Huowang discovered that there was a shrine carved with sandstone embedded in half of the high wall on the left.
There are three small statues of gods carved in bricks in the niche. Sitting in the middle is an old man with a kind expression and dignified appearance. But on both sides are two little ghosts who are completely opposite.
Like.
The old man in the middle is the so-called prison god.
